PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

The grand collar of the Legion of Honor
ago has been presented to M. Carnot. Previ-
GUS to the making of it only three of these
grand collars had been in existence. One of
them was worn by the first Napoleon, and
another was in the possession of the Murat
family. There was third, hut for years 1t
had been lost sight Of. A sensation was pro-
duced when it was seen around the neck of
the Emperor of Austria during his visit to
Paris in 1867. This collar had been given by
the first Napoleon to his father-in-law, Fran
els /, when he married the Archduchess
Maria Louisa.
A question of intense interest to the army
and navy is again being pressed on the atten-
ton of the President. He is being urged to
nominate General Horatio King, of New
York, for judge advocate general, vice
Swain, suspended from active duty by sem
tence Of court 1t lis claimed that the supreme
court has decided. in the case of an army
chaplain, that the President can nominate
any one whom he may select for any army
or navy position, and that upon confirmation
by the Senate the new apppointee succeeds
the officer holding the place to which he was
nominated, exactly as In the case OF an OIL
fetal in any branch OF the civil service.
UQuer LlllS u6clSlOu III ID uclU tudb tllC lCoi-

King, and that IL the Senate should confirm

Among the richest of the Berlin guilds are
those of the butchers and bakers. many of
whose time-honored privileges have grad
ually been bought off by the State. The
butchers, more especially, are very reticent
with regard to the admission of new mem
bers, and ask high admission fee. Each
member, on the death of his wife, receives
1900 marks, and an equal sum is paid to the
wife on the death of her husband. The
bakers guild also is well situated financially.
Its chief master has an annual salary of
5000 marks; mona but the old members have
claim to the guild fund, and they alone, at
guild meetings, can eat and drink at the ex-
pense of the guild. The diapers actually re-
fuse to receive any new member inasmuch
as they count upon division of the fund at
the dissolution; the present share per capita
is estimated at 10000 marks. In the province
of SAKE some of the diapers guilds have
already divided the common fund. When
the chief master of the Berlin guild died
few years ago, sum OF $1,000 marks was
said to have been missing, which is supposed
to have represented his share The Berlin
Municipal Coun ell CON sidering the city 20
be the legal heir of these guilds, is keeping
sharp lookout.

lot Of the Southern farmer has been one Of
poverty. In Arkansas. recently, the farm
ers made an effort to benefit themselves by
encouraging manufactures They declared
that without local markets, their products
could find sale only at distant places and at
such prices as the buyers might dictate
The remedy which they recommended was
Unreasonable, and almost the only, remedy,
the establishment of manufactures. In
other Southern States, and Georgia is one of
them, the farmers in favored localities
around places like Birmingham, in Alabama,
are beginning to realize the advantages of
local markets. And so it happens that from
many of the leading Democratic papers of
the South President Cleyeland's message
meets unexpected criticism.
The Portland daily press., 1887-12-28

Somebody Mr.. Randall-has
started the story that the President is going
to send a supplementary message to Con-
gress to correct misrepresentation as regards
his position on the question of reducing in
ternal revenue taxation. 1t is alleged that
the President did not intend that his mes
sage should be interpreted as an expression
of opinion in opposition to the removal or
reduction Of the tax on tobacco. But the
President knows the meaning of ordinary
English words, and knowing that he must
have known that his message admitted of
but one Interpretation, and that was opposi-
ton to the reduction or removal Of the inter-
nal revenue taxes. If he issues supplement
tary message on the subject 1t will not be a
correction Of any wrong impression of his
message, but to all intents and purposes an
admission that the exigencies of the politi-
cal situation have compelled him to modify
the views he so clearly expressed in that
document.

The cruiser Chicago, one of Johr Roach's
ships, is admitted, even by the navy depart
ment to be success in every particular. Her
trial trip demonstrated that she was all the
contract called for and more. Indeed all the
vessels built by Mr.. Roach have been fault
less as far as construction was concerned If
there were faults they were the faults of the
designers and not of the builders

1t is hard to see how the officers of the
Biddeford and Saco Savings Institution
could grant McNeally immunity from pun
ishment If they desired to; unless they fled
from the jurisdiction Of the Maine courts.
McNeally is under indictment in York
county, and the State is now his prosecutor,
not the bank officers. They are simply wit
nesses. If he should come into this county
he would undoubtedly be arrested, spite of
what the bank officers might wish, and, if
he were in another State, brought into
Maine on a requisition from the Governor.
He would then be taken to York county and
arraigned in the Supreme Court for trial.
The county attorney could summon the bank
officers to testify in the case and compel
them to, no matter what their feelings ON the
subject might be. The only way they could
escape would be by fleeing beyond the iuris-
diction Of the court and remaining there per-
manently. So it will be seen that for the
officers of the bank to guarantee McNeally
immunity from punishment is practically i'm
possible, without the consent of the county
attorney Of York county, which they have
not got and probably cannot get.

In 1877, just after the great railroad riots,
the Reading Railroad discharged all its
engineers who belonged to the brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, and new men took
their places. Now, these men, as Knights of
Labor have struck. and members Of the
Brotherhood are coming from all directions

The last overturn in the Sandwich Islands
was precipitated by foreign residents. The
one now in progress is the work of the ma

almost entirely ignored. 1t may be possible
to make judicious mixture Of the two infiu-
ences, but the probability is that one or the
other Of them will get supreme control. As
foreign interests in the Islands are very
great it is not likely that foreign govern
ments win permit the natives to have their

In an interesting letter in regard to the In
sane Asylum, published elsewhere, a cores
pendent speaks of the great increase of in
sanity in Maine during the last quarter of a
century. The correspondent relies for the
truth of his assertion upon the great increase
Of patients in the Insane Asylum during
that period. At first glance that appears
conclusive. But it must be borne in mind
that a quarter Of a century ago the practice
of sending insane people to an asylum was
not so general as it is now. Then great
many Of the insane were shut up in aims
houses, or, il deemed harmless, left to wan
der about under little restraint. During the
war there doubtless was a considerable in
crease of insanity consequent upon the ex-
element and mental strain of that period.
But to-day it Is very much to be doubted if
the proportion of insane people in Maine to
the whole, number Of inhabitants is any
arger than it was thirty years ago.
They are now massed now in one institution.
and therefore make a stronger impression
on the public mind. This, we believe, rath-
er than any actual increase, is the secret Of
the popular notion that more people go mad
nowadays than formerly.
